Faret Tachikawa displays over 100 art installations from 30 countries, integrating contemporary art into public spaces throughout shopping and entertainment districts.

Multiple train lines at Tachikawa Station connect passengers to central Tokyo, with the Chuo Main Line providing regular service between the metropolitan areas.
